Passage 1

Hollywood’s true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people(替身演员)who entertained cinema-goers by falling from the sky, swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action.

In the mid-1990s, there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then after a few days, the producers would come in and say, “You can go home.”

The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With rise of digital technology(数字技术), insurance company became more reluctant to cover real stunts. “If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts,” said a stunt person.

Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences won’t accept stunts produced by computers for too long.

Passage 2

A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.

The poll found that public favors some government protection from cyber-problems(网络问题), but in general, people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.

However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind.”

Passage 3

The business cycle is composed of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity.

During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded.
